Ever since iQiyi came out with the mega popular male trainee idol show, “Idol Producer” (偶像练习生) last year, it has created several spinoffs, including the second season of the show, which was renamed to “Qing Chun You Ni” (青春有你). A few days after “Qing Chun You Ni” aired its finale, there were already reports that a female version of the show was in the works. At the time, trainees that were rumored to join included Ladybees, (蜜蜂少女隊), AKB48 TEAMSH, Banana Culture’s TRAINEE18 trainees, Yuehua Entertainment trainees and Wang Yiren (王怡人), who debuted as part of the Korean girl group, EVERGLOW, in March. Back in July, SNH48 announced select members from SNH48, BEJ48, and GNZ48 were joining the second season of “Qing Chun You Ni” at its annual General Election.
